That old chap enjoying himself brought a tear to my eyes with happiness
Hey Tank watched your reaction from the Salt Lake Nightwish show, thanks for the kind words us old fuddy duddys can show the youngins how to rock!
Kenny from Utah
66years young and loving Nightwish, my wife likes this one too she really loves this celtic style folk music.
That guy is adorable. Hope he's still around and rocking
You know the music is good when half the audience is in tears and no one has sung a word. It's hard to evoke that MUCH emotion without words.
That violin player is Pekka Kuusisto, I believe. Very famous player worldwide. And yes, I believe he was on stage only in Helsinki concert.
I absolutely adore Pekka. He joins Nightwish on stage occasionally if he's around when they play in Finland. He's fantastic and a true showman, and hilarious. His violin actually adds a lot, check out this version of I Want My Tears Back: ua-cam.com/video/GCm2WTrAfCk/v-deo.html
Fun fact: If you listen to the studio versions of this and The Islander, the latter leads into this. With the wind in The Islander fading out after the song and calming into the wild sound in this. It's so cool. You should listen to them together.
Will do!
@@TankTheTech *You really should, the live versions are most times stripped down. In the studio version of "The Islander" is a violin featured, which is not the case in the live versions. In the studio version of "Last of the Wilds" you will hear not only the violin again but also a Finnish instrument called Electric Kantele. Greetings & Stay safe.*
Agreed, so glad i picked up all of the studio releases. Dark Passion Play is just so good but all of the studio albums have some amazing deep tracks. "Slow, Love, Slow" on Imaginaerum is a departure from the typical NW sound, yet so good.
I respect anybody who can be or is unashamedly moved to tears by great music.
This song always makes me smile, Troy is a master.
Another song you may like is "Elvenjig/Elvenpath" live in Colombia. It combines an improvised instrumental folk bit (Elvenjig) and a song from the first Nightwish album (Elvenpath); which speaks about all of those old famous fantassy works and a little bit of Finnish mythology.
Great to have you doing more Nightwish, man.
"Last of the Wilds" actually has a vocal version too. It was released in the Platinum Edition of "Dark Passion Play" album. It's called "Erämaan viimeinen" and has a Finnish guest singer Jonsu in it.
added suggestion request to discord about it, maybe some day.
Loved'd it. I can say, it works with vocals.
And there is even a nice fan made video with English subtitles and nature shots in youtube. BTW It was released as a single and because of the language they needed a Finnish singer to do it, and Jonsu was obvious choice as they were going to go Nordic tour with Jonsu's band Indica.
It has been taken down in some platforms. Atleast UA-cam still has versions to listen. Not everyone has right Album version :(
Vocals add so much to Folk song even if they are foreign language to listener.
For more Folk from Finland.. Korpiklaani! There is live versions from Wacken too :D
A must see from "folk" Nightwish is Creek Mary's Blood from the End of an Era DVD. It's on Tarja's channel. Obviously without Troy, but.... 😉
This was the first metal song I ever heard. I had only listened to what was currently popular in the US, and my dads classic 60s/70s CDs. Then a friend linked me Last of The Wilds, and I started on my nightwish journey, and the door opened to the rest of the metal world. Even though I dont constantly listen to Nightwish anymore, this song always has and always will mean a lot to me. Gets me emotional every time
That's awesome, and that's what I love about music. The personal emotional connections are amazing.
@@TankTheTech hey Tank, so I just finished viewing all your NW reactions which I enjoyed very much,since thru out your reactions you seem to indicate that NW may be your all time fav ? I wanted to encourage you to do some songs that you have yet to react to or experience ? I first heard NW about 20yrs ago and I had found them interesting ,to be honest I was more so with the compositions than the vocals so I was not an avid listener but then the same pal who turned me on to them told me about this tall beautiful amazing singer of a band called After Forever and when I heard Floor's cover of Alone by Heart I was slayed, I have seen live and heard just a bout every female rock/metal & contemporary singer but I had never heard someone like Floor that I had such an emotional response to ,she I believe is a singular & incomparable talent who I would say if she was an American or a Brit would be a mega star worldwide so I would also like to encourage you to go into her prior bands After Forever & ReVamp and her recent covers to better understand the fervor her fans have for her, cheers & best wishes.

@@TankTheTech They guy in the crowd is either dumfounded or High out of his damn mind
Yep, that violin clip was one last concert concluding a Nightwish world tour in Finland featuring world famous Finnish violinist and composer Pekka Kuusisto.
There are a couple of other videos floating around on YT of him joining in for My Walden and I think another, but cannot remember sorry.
@@cb4me450 I Want My Tears Back Official live video at least one of them. ua-cam.com/video/kG-ahEP3EF0/v-deo.html
Highly recommended Sleeping Sun. It's a bit older, but it's beautiful.
The Tampere version, hopefully!
A double reaction to the Tampere version and a Tarja version
Agree, live Tampere. Wow
Seconded! Double reaction! End of an Era concert for Tarja and Tampere for Floor.
I think I already recommended this song a couple of month ago and got a heart by Tank for it, but so far, he apparently hasn't gotten around to it ;)
That guy was high as a kite. Like he was thinking "Floor is coming to sing, right"? Lmao!
You mean drunk.
@@js0988 No, high. Drunk people don't stare into abyss dead eyes like that
He was swinging like the pendulum from Poet, lost in the sound
@@VonArmagedda You clearly have never been to Finland, that is how 90% of the population looks like.
I think that was a undercover alien who was overwhelmed by Nightwish music
Oh wow, this made me tear up myself... And I know the song. It's like you said: Seeing other people discover and falling in love with music that already is close to your heart is a very emotional and special experience. Makes you proud for the band, that they unite so many different people with their music.
I'm the same way about that, which is why I really like to share this band and some others of the same genre with people who know nothing about it.
This song has a special place in my life. My best mate that passed away, introduced me to this band, with this song. He said at times you don't need lyrics, just the music. How right he was
Look at those FACES!! This is LIFE
I'm in bits. maan!! They just do not disappoint.
And a MASTER CLASS FROM TROY.
MY DAD would have loved this
“Folk speaks to the soul”. That’s RIGHT!
Had never understood why people watch reactions videos. Everything changed after your Nightwish series. It's so great to share with someone the same emotions I feel when I watch theirs live records. Thanks a lot!
I was too young to accept Anette as a new vocalist, to accept the fact that life changes and I should be open for that. I was not so young when Floor came but still wasn't ready to let new Nightwish in my life. Finally I see all of them brought something different, something new, something great. Now even listening old songs with three different singers I can't say that Tarja, Anette or Floor is better. They are obviously different but also great in their own way! It so doesn't make any sense to argue who is better (anyway everyone knows Marko is the best :))
Finally, some sensible comment from nightwish fanbase
+ Marco is the Goat🔥
Moondance is another great folky 'hey hey' kinda track worth checking out if you like this.
And probably most covered Nightwish Song.
Here:
Nightwish - Moondance
ua-cam.com/video/2_AR77D_oxI/v-deo.html
yes, Moondance is also wonderful track🙂👌
Hopefully in the near future we can all jump and dance and go crazy on this song!
Well, I could pop wheelies and spin to the music - if the crips corral at the venue had enough space.
Heck, if anything could get me on my feet it would be Nightwish, but as I can only transfer a few yards on crutches, that might be something I'd regret later.
Who am I kidding - it would be worth it, whatever physical price I'd have to pay later!
Wembley is utter torture, with the only space for wheelies a sort of concrete trough, with just enough space to smash your knees on the side. They've a cheek charging for it at all.
I'd want my tears back later though!
Finally! Love you buddy ❤️
🙌🙌🙌
Before this song i thought it was a myth that a song, like notes themselves, could be so beautiful it makes you cry lmal the very first time i heard this song was a near religious experience lol i was just a kid, peak hormone peak emotoon, and this, just floored me, had every hair on end, the whole time and it didnt let go til the end
I wish i was exaggerating, i bawled like a baby *during* it and then after it lmao
I have no idea why it overwhelmed me like that
To this day anytime i need to cry, need to get out a lot of stress, i just sit back and play this. Works like a charm without fail
Do yourself a huge favor, get the studio version, and listen with headphones turned all the way up
i listen to this song daily..and this is thee best reaction to this vid.
NW’s quality shines out in the way that they can be so subtle in their music. For a band to be able to combine that subtlety with the power of metal is a delight to the ear and yours and the audience reaction says everything about the effect it can have.
The guy with the bald head, goatee beard and huge smile near the end, is one of the tour crew. I think he might be the stage manager. There's a clip somehwere of him flat out asleep, on the tour bus, and the band are drawing on his face with a black marker. I think alcohol may well have been involved! 😀The fact that he so obviously loves what he is hearing, after hearing it countless times before, just shows how powerful and engaging Nightwish's performances are. This song is one big smile from start to finish. 🙂
That was my dad you paused the video on. The original video has so many comments about him. He found your video and had to share it with all of us. You got my sub.
No way! That’s amazing! Please tell him his energy is infectious and him being so happy made me happy as well!
@@TankTheTech of course, I will let him know. Just so you know, he tried to write you in a comment but replied to someone else's lol. Sage Animist- "that old chap enjoying himself brought tears to my eyes"
Nice once again Nightwish and instrumental. I'm curious. 😁
You have to bring more Nightwish back 🤘😁
I didn't even realize how much I missed / needed your NW reactions before I watched this. Thank you!
Hopefully the guys could see the man with the 😎 on...his enthusiasm is contagious...I started my own "chair jig" during this whole upload...
Great Reaction and Enthusiasm Buddy...Tank...YouDaMan! 👊
This is THE song that got me into Nightwish. Came up on my Pandora station one day many years ago, and I was hooked for life 😊
Good morning Tank jus want to say hi and and enjoy your holiday weekend thanks for jus being you
Thanks man!
LOL🤣 I didn’t even notice that there were no vocals until you pointed it out! I thought it was just a very long intro 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant, that old chap tears of happiness.....
Hello Tank, I'm from Finland and it brings joy to my heart to see that you enjoy Nightwish 😊 I personally consider Nightwish as our national treasure🥰
Haven't checked your channel in months I guess. And I hardly ever comment before or during watching the clip. But I agree, I might not be biggest Nightwish fan. But the what I would call Gaelic sound is just something. Used to live in Ireland and Scotland and how I miss to be back there. And I'm originally from city near where Nightwish is from (~40 miles). Nightwish comes from literal village :)
The smiles all over the place is awesome :)
Hell. Never knew im in an NW Video. Sure i were at the Concert back then in my Hometown, Nürnberg, also in Hamburg, i do know they capture some Parts. As i dont, on contrast to you, really get the folk stuff from NW never watched this vid, well thx , learned something from you:) and no, i am not the Dumb...starer, i were 44 at the Time of the Concert:)
i somehow interprete out of your Late indirect critisism of the Publishers , that Nuclear Blast is the one, that monetize all of their reacted vids, as they find out its an corona times way to make money without doing nothing as pressing an copyright button. would be very sad about that, and truly hope, that especially NW will stay an recap Band of yours, initially started as bandwagon or not i dont care sh..t, like already said, you do give me great vibes and infos, when recapping. stay healthy and have some great days in your off time, stop posting vids, make you family happy:)
Funfact: i always gotta think of Empuu, when i hear Feuerschwanz doing Kampfzwerg, wonder why?:D
NW army savage saussage Division north Bavaria out.
Still your most favorite band of all times? Cause God damn it is for me. They literally can do no wrong
This track always makes me so happy for some reason.
I am listening to the Nightwish album "Century Child" which came out in 2002, and features their brilliant, epic version of Phantom of The Opera. Don't know how many Nightwish fans there are in the UK, but I'm definitely one of them since 2015. Loving all your reaction videos. Great to watch. Keep them coming 👍
Century Child was 2002. 🤘
Wonderful piece ❤️
I am sooooooo so so happy to see you Tank reacting to Nightwish again!!!! I had awfull day today from the moment I woke up and that one little thing just cheered me up so much! Thank you from all my heart! You made my day!!!
All the best to you Tank, I just love to watch these with you!
THAT was satisfying! Glad I was here!
Loved the reaction, again. Thank you!
Instrumentals have a way of guiding you through the music that lyrics can't quite touch, and this Nightwish instrumental is a four day journey into yourself
As always another great job man. I tear up at Nightwish stuff on a daily basis as it gets me where no other music ever has.
Someone needs to do a time lapse of Tanks beards journey from his first video to now. The beard game is getting strong! 💪
Great reaction my friend. I'm feel with folk sound (Scottish and Irish) like you. In my opinion there is nothing better in metal than a certain influence of this type of music. I could celebrate it at any time. Not pure but influences. That's why I love "I want my tears back" so much from Nightwish, which you've already seen and heard. 🤘
Wow, I never heard this version before. That was beyond epic! I'm glad you appreciate everything that goes into these kinds of songs. It's definitely a moving song.
Great to see you back with Nightwish, Tank. And what a return!
100% agree that folk metal is where it's at!
In the studio version, Emppu actually has a pretty sick, but brief, solo in the spot where Troy was going ham.
Love that you went back to Nightwish, great timing as well I was thinking the other day I hope Tank does Nightwish soon and you did so Thanks Tank!
Man been waiting for this. One of my favourites. Go Troy 🤟He surely tells a story with his instruments.
Ohhhh! Such a great reaction!! 🤘🤘🤘 thanks Tank!! 🤗🤗
Troy is also a very talented keyboardist, but I think that position has been filled.🤣
Waited soooo long for you to get around to this.lol Any folk music makes my soul happy. Glad you enjoyed it❤😍
So glad you got round to reacting to this. Especially since you are such a Troy fan, one of my fave Nightwish songs. Loved it since the first time I heard it!
For what is is worth, Tank, I also teared up watching this. I love this song. I love this video. I love watching you get emotional watching this video. I get emotional because concerts are my happy place and I haven't been able to attend a concert in over a year and half because of the pandemic. Watching all these people just happy, feeling the music and in their element brought me to tears. I am emotional because after a year and half, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Concerts are coming back.
Side note, this song also makes me emotional because my amazing niece and nephew love this Nightwish song too and it reminds me of them and I can't wait to see them again and give them a big hug.
Great video, look forward to the next one!
I am amazed to see no one mentioned its sung version, Erämaan Viimeinen. Still magical :)
Well - I have loved this track for many years! I saw your trailer today - and I've been watching your reactions for a long time - I couldn't help but watch! But before I started watching I already knew because I know you - you will love it the way I love it! I am not surprised at all - this track is impossible not to love, this band is impossible not to love - they give us joy, give us emotions, give us a smile on our face! That's what music is about, that's it!
Awesome pick! So glad to see Nightwish making a return to the rotation. This has always been one of my favorite shows/performances but seeing Marko now makes it feel even more special.
I love this song. When ever feeling down this song makes me feel better. Gonna need it for atleast half a year. Tomorrow i will be going into Finnish Army.
Aamuja
I love that song!! They are so good. I got goosebumps towards the end. So good.
Thank you for mixing all versions.
I love this band!!! they never disappoint!! Cant wait to se them in Oslo later this year :D /,,/ great reaction keep it up :D
Hey Tank, just killed your entire Njghtwish play list, love the vids man. I've been a fan of Nightwish for years and it's been great seeing your reactions to the songs. Can't believe you haven't done Sacrament of Wilderness, you need to look into that, deffo the original where they all look so young! 😊👍
Thanks a ton!
Troy is absolutely sensational on this one. One of my favourite Nightwish songs! I don't know if you've heard the new single from Troy and Tuomas's other band, Auri, with Johanna Kurkela? It's called Pearl Diving and is an absolutely stunning piece if you want to check it out! Tuomas is a wizard on the keys as usual, and you'll hear Troy doing backing vocals, bouzouki, low whistle and electric guitar in the song! :)
First time reaction for me too..
that was beautiful
(Love the beard clip)
Oh man.... I listened to this track many times before, but seeing you getting into it, and also watching the cheering crowds in the clip made me tear up myself.
Nothing superfast, nothing supertechnical in it, this is just the raw power of music and its arrangement. And what it does to people (including myself) is just plain awesome!
Tank that was absolutely brilliant, and yes I teared up to, lol. Your Dad has great taste in music. This band is incredible and all member's are masters of their craft. There is another song that is awesome with that touch of folk that you should check out. Elvenjig and Elvenpath live at Bogota is amazing with more instrumentals. Love your work from Australia. 👍
I really love your reaction
Thanks
At the end of the studio version there's an instrument called kantele playing alone. It is the national instrument of Finland and is quite rare in other parts of the world. It is a big part of finnish folk music and is often mentioned in Finnish folklore.
Great reaction Tank, honestly made me appreciate the song more than I already did. I don't know what it is about this about this band but they just find ways to create emotional connections in ways other bands that I love don't.
Hahah, you spotted the spaced out guy too. Dude was on something strong, that's for sure. LOVE this song. I love how Emppu plays the melody at different times, especially at the end letting Troy "shred" on the pipes for the outro.
Seeing other people enjoy the same music I Love... this is why I am here. Getting introduced to new bands is a second layer of cake. The gear breakdown is icing on the cake.
May you and your family know love all the days of your life.
This song is so energetic! Nightwish are so freaking good at this music thing. Man, I feel with you. Can't recall many other bands that manage to raise my emotions like that. Maybe U.F.O.'s "Love to Love" from the Strangers in the Night live album, Within Temptation with their rarely played ballad "Bittersweet", or Springsteen's "The River" from his 1975-85/95 live compendium. But Nightwish does it with so many songs of theirs. Incredible. Thx for sharing.
This f-ing song just shreds!!
I really feel ya about the way this song just "calls you home".
I've been waiting for you to hear this, knowing how much you love the 'folk' signature and Troy's amazing virtuosity. Those pipes just kill me.
When I hear bagpipes they touch me in such a visceral way... but when they're used to play AMAZING GRACE....I turn into a sobbing puddle of goo...
When they're used in memoriam...I just can't deal.
But thanks for this!
I play this and EVERGREY - Touch of Blessing more than anything else in my library....
And NW's tribute to Pink Floyd - High Hopes..
Bittersweet to begin with, but with Marco's departure.... double the bitter part.
Did you check out “kiss while your lips are still red”? Troy on guitar using an ebow. Super cool.
I didn't expect having to wipe tears of joy off my face after watching this, but that's what happened, not even embarrassed.
Thanks for your content!
Incidentally, really like the beard style, mate. Looks great!
Im so glad you did a Nightwishreaction again and loved the effect it had on you,I hope you will react to Wardruna 's Kvitraven,Lyfjaberg etc good music for your soul😇
Something about pipes and flutes definitely stirs those of us with Irish/Scottish blood.
Another fantastic, and enjoyable video. After watching this video I listened to the album version of "Last of the Wilds" from "Dark Passion Play" and I also watched the video of the live version from Wacken 2013. Incredible instrumental.
So thrilled to see you back with Nightwish, have missed it so much. This song really shows Tuomas amazing songwriting skills. Wisited a month ago Kitee where Nightwish is from. There is a new great Nightwish museum and there you can play Jukkas drumset from the last tour he was with Nightwish...I did that. You should also check out Moondance by Nightwish, more a Russian style of folk song. Thanks, hope you do Nightwish a little more often :)
Great reaction as always!
I always kind of like to throw this around when it comes to Nightwish and this style of music: there’s an artist I enjoy, LEAH, who’s music is very much like this. Very folky, Celtic type metal. She’s an independent artist and she brings in musicians from other bands to help create her music, one of these includes Troy! I can’t remember every artist who has been involved, but I always remember Troy lol.
I know he was most involved in the albums “The Quest” and “Ancient Winter”.
Troy also regularly plays the bouzouki. By the way, welcome back to Nightwish, have you played I Want My Tears Back from Buenos Aires.
This is the very 1st song I've heard by Nightwish that got me immediately hooked..I went down the rabbit hole from here just over a year ago
Oh, this is going to be emotional!
There are so many folky sounding Nightwish songs you have the pleasure of hearing for the first time👌🏻😍
Good to see you back on the Nightwish train. You still need to check out Elvenjig/Elvenpath. You’re gonna love it. And Alpenglow, My Walden and Edemah Ruh for good measure😊
✨Just love your reactions - so real - and can just feel your emotions and joy through this video. As mentioned before in your videos - Emotions are released when you react to the Folk sound in metal...NW fan or not... Love to watch your reactions..as always. You can also find this track at the Wacken 2013 show (where Floor makes her outfit change)✨
Actually there are 3 songs which feature the wll known phrase "we were here!" Greatest show on earth, Alpenglow and Creek Mary's Blood (with tarja from end of an era.) you should definetely react to. You will have some gear to talk about.
Happy to see the Nightwish reactions are back! This song always gets me as well, oh Nightwish and their instrumental magic haha. I personally always thought this song live it's just a giant loop played over and over. If you listen to the studio version, yea it is the same but the guitars are so much better with solos! Back in the day Emppu used to do the crazy solos and now he's just chillin' while Troy does them, it's the evolution of a great band and I love it!
THIS! This instrumental is amazing and it always puts me in a happy mood. It is one of my road trip songs...THE ONE in which I'll crank up while driving down a road (without stoplights or stop signs) windows down, and sunroof open.
A couple of notes about the video, etc:
The older gentleman identified himself in the comment section of this video on UA-cam. Many commenters had their hats off to him! I was at the Salt Lake City show (which was mentioned on the beginning scroll) and remember seeing him there. Coincidentally, the Salt Lake City show was Annette's last show with the band. Floor made her debut two days later in Seattle. I saw that one, also.
The violin/fiddle player is also seen in the video for "I Want My Tears Back" that was filmed in Tampere, I think.
"Last Of The Wilds" is also on the Wacken DVD...Floor did a wardrobe change during the song.
As evidenced during the video, there are several different sized venues in which Nightwish performed. The smaller ones are outside of Europe. In the USA you can get a much more intimate feel of the show and it is so gratifying, plus the opportunities to take part in a meet & greet. I met them in Tampa/St. Pete (with Floor). I have made it a point to go see them in Europe when I get the chance.
Tank, you GOTTA go see them when they tour again. You being where you are, Atlanta would probably be the closest place.
PS That wide-eyed guy....I think he looks like Elijah Wood (the actor). After all, that clip was from the Los Angeles show LOL
Damn, i like how you dig the facts for songs!
Definitely one of my top 3 favorite Nightwish songs
Tank I is a huge boost to even to audience when ppl are screaming that hard on rhythm. I have such good memories on NW concerts. Soon you will have too
Liquid Tension Experiment 3 is a wild ride.
Nice to see some Nightwish covered again
